Yes it does! What it does is land on your food, chew bits of it, vomit it and defecate as well. then its little feet stamp on your food, feet that stamped on faeces and dirt outside. I watched a documentary on vectors of disease while studying nursing and you know what? It's left me with a phobia! I hate the little nasties! I

Vomits every time it lands on your food as the chances are its eating it, and vomits a substance on the food to soften it so it can digest the food. As for defecating, I don't know, but I'd say the chances are high. If it just lands somewhere that isn't food, who knows?

My mirror tells me they regularly fly around flobing/vomiting at things.
It appears 2 B up 2 the individual fly as 2 how bad it's ability 2 keep the yuk it eats inside.
But most take the trouble 2 defecate, only when they land.
Nasty init?

Nope. there are thousands of distinct fly species, and assorted them feed in distinct procedures. universal houseflies hardly vomit (regurgitate the contents of their abdomen). Technically, they spit even as they pick to feed, yet they don't attempt feed each and each and every time they land. living house flies have chemical sensors of their 'ft' that tell them that they could be status on a source of foodstuff.

The vomit is a form of acid which disolves the food so that the fly can then suck it up. Flys do not have teeth.

Well the vomit is on it's feet all the time, because to eat they vomit on the food and then stamp on it to get it all nice and mushy.

A fly boaks on its arms/legs and walks around on them spreading their chunks all over everything they touch. Proper grim, they just defecate whenever they need to.

it vomits - kind of. it's really spitting digestive juices, so it's not exactly vomiting (which would involve food coming up too). but the stuff comes out its proboscis (mouth) so i guess it counts

Even if it doesn't it's quite likely that it was walking all over some pile of dog **** or a corpse of some sort. Nature's ultimate garbage disposal.
